each successive data acquisition is exponentially weighted and combined with the existing
average. This weights new data more than the old data, which facilitates tracking of slow

to the repeat function. Repeat averaging shows resulting data after
the selected number of sweeps has been averaged, then clears the data before repeating
the process.
NOTE
With large average counts and/or slow traces, the trace from the last
completed result remains on the display while
running – the trace is not updated until the last average count has been
reached.
